Water-based resin adhesives offer an eco-conscious alternative for bonding porous and semi-porous materials. Designed for clean application and consistent performance, these formulations are ideal for industries that demand flexibility, durability, and low VOC emissions.

Key Features

Strong Bonds

Delivers dependable adhesion across porous substrates.

Eco-Conscious

Non-toxic, low-VOC options support sustainability initiatives.

Customizable

Adjustable solids content, tack level, and open time to fit your process.

Fast Setup

Quick drying for increased line speed and productivity.

Water Cleanup

No solvents or complex maintenance required.

Temperature Stability

Performs consistently across a range of operating environments.

Common Applications

  • Water-based adhesives designed for strong fiber tear and clean machining—ideal for high-speed case and carton sealing lines.

  • Formulated to bond coated, treated, or waxed surfaces with consistent hold and clean performance under heat and pressure.

  • Flexible, fast-setting adhesives for spine gluing, side gluing, and casing-in—engineered for smooth lay-flat results.

  • Clear-drying and tack-optimized resins that perform across glass, PET, and multipack labeling lines without buildup or flagging.

  • Versatile solutions that bond porous and semi-porous substrates like wood, foam, and corrugate with strength and reliability.

Formulation Options

  • Water-based resins can be optimized for fast set or extended open times to suit a range of production speeds and substrates.

  • Available in both aggressive tack and repositionable options, tailored for specific application demands.

  • Formulations that run clean at lower temperatures, helping reduce energy use and prevent equipment buildup.

  • Select resins meet FDA 21 CFR standards for indirect food contact, supporting safe use in food and beverage packaging.
